A vibrant and dazzling production from the Opera National de Paris' 2002 season. Robert Carsen brings his Contes bang up to date with an enviable cast including Neil Shicoff, who has performed the role of Hoffmann internationally, and Bryn Terfel.

"Shicoff, sounding uncannily like Domingo in voice and accent, is a sensitive and ardent Hoffmann" -Gramophone
